  1. What's people's thoughts then flooded or agm
  2. Yeah been thinking that also looking at a good 12v pump
  3. Yeah we are going to get a true 12v tv for when out on the cut. Save running the BEAST. Think mite tell mum n dad to get a shunt for 12v and a 240v current meter to leave fitted in the control board.
  4. Running a benchmark for worst case scenario first. Also testing each item individually so can make a spreadsheet. Pump is 70w 24hrs TV is 280w 4hrs Fridge when compressor on 70w 24hrs
  5. Immersion can only be ran from shore or generator. We have a large back boiler that heats the rads and calorifier but has to have pump on. Reading are comming from plug in energy monitor. Currently doing a 240 power audit.
  6. So we have a 240v 70w pump for our back boiler that we run 24.7.365 also heats hot water + 6 radiators Want to be able run that plus freezer plus tv as and when
  7. Want to be able be to use 500w at 240 overnight. Have 4.5kva generator for day use when not in marina or cruising.
  8. We have the 70amp alternator and the 70amp charger built into inverter. Moored in marina mostly but want to be able to use what we currently use in the marina out on the cut.
  9. Currently getting 242w a day no sun at the moment.
  10. I have worked out the amp draw of the minimum appliances and also used a dc clamp meter to check my calculations this is check on the inverter cables.
  11. Hi all. Just a quick topic first of many. We completed the boat fit out on my mum and dads ex hire boat last year but never did anything with batteries. Now we're thinking of putting around a 1000ah 12v battery bank in to run our 3000w pure sine wave inverter/(charger)(powerstar lw) due to short lived run time at nominal loads. I have calculated and clamp metered the cables at 36amps inverter pull lasts 2.5hrs. So we think the current batteries are nackered. Also have 3x 255w solar panels wired in series to give 765w of Solar connected to a 100a MPPT. We currently have just 4 of these at 110ah each total 440ah and only charge from the MPPT. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19216714361 Should we go 10 x 6v (250ah C100) 225ah C20 wet cell traction giving 12v 1125ah http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160821515076 Or Should we go for the cheaper 12v flooded leisure batteries http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201462508123 Or 10 x 12v 100ah C20 AGM Batteries to give 12v 1100ah http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182425047217 What are your thoughts. Thanks in advance
